| Editor Ponoka Heranp
| From what I can Jearn your var. |
| jous correspondents for and against
|my side of the free range question
|have done some good, But if Mr.|
| Shafft is correctly reported to me. |
| [ place him in the class of those |
| who consider that their neighbors
| owe them and their stock a living;
and no matter whether every set-
tler has a lot of fencing material
on his quarter section, in his view,
that settler is lazy and shiftless it|
hedoes not fence his crop, so his
nly can go where they please, if

only they are off his own land; it
| matters not on whore they pick up
their living; and if they will not go |
| aay of their own accord he will |
set hisdog on them and make}
{them go away. I speak of the class
ihe belongs to. Tdo not say that he
does this, but this 1 do know with-
fout contradiction that this has been

idone at this place. I was told last

i fall by one of our most progressive
| farmers in Alberta that the winter
| before he had lost 70 tons of hay}
from this eause, And I defy any
person to sey he is lazy and shift-
| less, but simpty because he hed not
| the time aud eould not hire. Here}
lis a sample of that false and illegal |
linterpretation of the law. Could

| give the names but for certain rea-

| sons will net.

One man—in fact both men are}
in the same class—allows his cattle |
ba run out and are sometimes found |

in the othey’s pasture. Ono night}
| they get into the stock yard and}
| the owner sets his dog on them, |
{not being certaiti whose they were
lin the dark, Result, one of the |
| cotts runs against a stake, gets his!
jugular vein cut and dies. Now|
comes in the question; suppose}
l that colt had lived to be a working |

\ horse, and it wa’ a most promisifig | ===
| g

Aninial, it would have been ‘vorth |
,at least $50; how many polv’s and|
| posts, wire and staples, would the}
| value of that eclt purchase? Who!

| was to blame?

Another position I will take on|
| this question, for it is really one of
honesty on one side and dishonesty |
on the other: Onur schools have to
bb supported; if we have any, ama |
ifwe do not want ahy let us go}
i buck whence we eame and not be
deady eights on the scale of prog-t
lress. Our roads tweed to be open-|
led up, and Iam glad to note that}
in the Ponoka ~district they re}
gradually being opefed up, while]
other settlenterité older by years]
than Ponoka hate done nothing in|
this line. ‘Phi takes another tar. |

AN
HUMBLE

HERO

BY THOMAS P. MONTFORT
Copyright, 1901 by Thomas P, Montfort

“Nat'rally she would be, Mirandy.
Yes, sir-ee!” Pap paused for quite
awhile, during whieh time be chewed
his tobacco vigorously, showing that
ho was engaged in earnest thought.
Then he added slowly: “Yes, sir-ce!
Nat'rally she would be; nat’rally she
would be.”

“Can't you see no way out for ber,
Pap?” Mrs. Sampson asked.

“I was fest a-thinkin, Mirandy. 1
bain’t no great admiration for Mary
Mann, an | guess thar ain't many as
has, but for all that she's a woman, an
a widder woman at that. Wonder when
her wheat'll do to cut.”

“Tomorry, she sald.”

“Waal, It won't nigh do to let that
wheat go to waste; so, as thar don't
seem to be nothin else for it, 1 guess |
better go out this evenin an gather up
a handful of men an take ‘em over
thar tomorry an cut It for her.”

Mrs. Sampson's face brightened at
once. She was one of those great soul-
ed plain people who can never bear to
fee any one in trouble without want-
Ing to move heaven and earth to re-
lieve bis distress,

“Are you shore you can git the men
to go?” she asked.

“Lord, yes! Yes, sir-ee! Thar's Ja-
fon Roberts. Jason an me bas It up
on down sometimes, an I reckon the
chief enjoyment of his Ife Is to take
sides ag'in me In ever’thing I say; but,
my land, that aln’t nothin, an when it
comes right down to the pinch Jason
will sw'ar by me. Yes; Jason'll go on
Sam Morgan an Ebenezer Sparks on a
int of the others.”

“Do you reckon they won't want to
ebarge her for their work, though?”

“Lord, Mirandy, you don't know
them fellers shorely! Charge a woman,
ana widder woman at that, for belpin
oer out of a pinch! Land! You Jest
let Mary Mann give us a good dinner,
an we'll have all the pay we want.
We'll even go to the length of furnish-
in our Jug of liquor If we can git a boy
to go to the still after it, an | guess we
shorely can.”

Pap Sampson was busier that after-
Poon than be bad been for a gong time.
He hunted around till be found six
good men to accompany him to Mrs
Mann's farm. Then be hunted up cra-
dies, and last, but not least, be hunted
a boy to go after a jug of whisky.

“Mought jest as well try to git "long
without cradles as without a jug of
liquor,” be said to himself as he potter.
ed about getting everything in readi-
ness. “A getherin without a jug
wouldn't be no getherin at all.”

Pap was in great spirits the next
iorning when he marshaled bis force
fae the wheatfeld and got the cradles
te going. He hopped about as spry as a
boy and gave orders like a general, He
even grasped a cradle and prepared to
lead the way with the first swath, but
Jason took the cradle out of bis bands
and wouldn't let him,

“No, Pap," Jason sald, “we can't
have that. Thar'’s plenty of us sounger
men here, You jest set down In the
shade somewhar an take It easy.”

Pap flared up with resentment to an
Instant.

“Me set down In the shade!” he erled,

“Have you got a notion, Jason Poberts.
{Lat I'm s0 no ‘count an played out os

all that?”

“Why, Lord, Pap, of course not!" Ja-
son replied, “I didn't say nothin Ike
that, did 17”

“Nor you better not say nothin like
Tt if you don’t want me to show you in
& way you won't forgit that L ain't nigh
played out. Mebby you don't b'lleve It,
Jason Roberts, but if you feel like tryin
tt Vl guarantee to whup you In two
shakes of a sheep's tail till you won't
know who you are.”

“Oh, that’s all right, Pap. I
wantin to fight you.”

“Co'se you ain't, Jason, ‘cause you
fin't no fool, an you know it ain't safe
to fool with me, Humph! Set down in
the shade an rest! My land, Jason Rob-
erts, I've cut more wheat in my time
an never grunted at It than you'll ever
cut If you live to be a thousan’ years
old, Set down In the shade an rest!
Lord! Sich talk makes me mad.”

Pap didn't sit down elther, Though
they denied bim the privilege of wield-
ing a cradle, he found an opportunity
to busy himself by putting the wheat

ain't

“Howdy, boys?

bundles Into shocks
work compared with

Howdy, Pape”

This was light
the other, and,

, Scclng that Pap was determined to do

something, Jason encouraged bim tn It.

“Lord!” he said, with a whik at the
others. “Pap's Jest fell right In whar
he plutb belongs. Anybody knows
enough to swing a cradle or bind up
Wheat, but thar's pow'ful blawned few
who know how to set up a wheat
shock so’s It won't spile if it rains.
Guess Tap’s ‘bout the only man here
that can do It.”

This pleased Vap and fully reconcll-
ed Lim to bis work, and he said noth-
ing more about wanting to swing a
cradle.

In the afternoon he began to go to
the shade pretty often, and each time
he went be tarried longer than he had
the time before. Finally Sam Morgan
noticed this and tineconsiderately re-
marked:

“Guess you're gittin putty tired, ain't
you, Pap?”

“Tired! Me tired!" Pap exclaimed.
“You hearn me say any word ‘bout
bein tired, Sam Morgan?’

“No, but I notice you goin to the
shade a right smart more than you
done this mornin.”

“What if you do? ‘Tain't 'cause I'm
tired, but jest ‘cause it's 60 mis'able
hot.”

The men had all come out to the
shade to rest, and presently Sim Banks
came down across the field and joined
them. He had been working In his
own field Just on the other side of a
fence. Te saluted them with:

“Howdy, boys? Howdy, Pap?”

“Howdy, Sim?’ they said in return.

“How you gittin ‘long?’ he asked.

“Oh, all right, I guess,” Jason re-
plied. “We'll git through before night
if nothin happens.”

“I'm sorry you all had to cut this
wheat,” Sim sald after a pause, “when
I'd done agreed with Mis'us Mann that
I'd do it. I didn't feel that I ort to
keep my promise, though, after all
them things she’s been a-sayin of late.”

“You done jest right, Sim,” Pap
Sampson announced unhesitatingly,
“an nobody can't blame you a bit.
When Mary Mann tnterfered like she
did to make trouble betwixt you ap
Loueesy, you wa'n't under no obliga
tlons to do nothin for her no more, not
a hand's turn,”

“'Tain't that, Pap, that held) me
back from dotn as I'd agreed. ‘'Tain't
that I hate Mary Mann too bad to lift
a finger for ler. It's ‘cause of what
people are a-sayin, an ‘cause It'd give
‘em room to say more, an—an ‘cause I
don't want to do nothin to hurt Lou
eesy.””

Sim paused for a moment, but no one
spoke, and presently be went on more
earnestly.

“lt don't Ike to have hard feelin's
agin nobody,” he said, “an specially
not agin a woman, but Mis'us Mann
didn't have no call to go an do the way
she done, for she told a plumb p‘int
blauk He when she parrated it around
that | come to ber house that night an
made love to her, Lord, | never
thought oncet of doln no sich a thing,
no more than | thought of stiekin my
head in the fre. It was her that done
it, an God knows I tried ever’ which
a-way to keep her from it. 1 told Lou
evsy Jest how it were, but she won't
U'lieve it, though | told her I'd sw'ar to
It on a stack of Bibles as high as they
could be piled. I hate Mary Mann
wuss'n I hate the pizenest suake that
crawls, for she’s a plumb Har, an she
knows It.”

Sim paused again, and this time Pap
Sampson spoke.

“Sim,” he sald reassuringly, “don't
none of us b'lieve nothin ag'in you that
Mary Mann has told, nary a word,
Nor, foe my part, | hain't a-gwine to
belleve It, not If she was to sw'ar to It
till she was plumb black tn the face.”
“No, but Loucesy b'ieves It.” Sim
repiled sadly, “an I'd ruther anybody
else’d bD'eve It than her. My land,
looks like she ort to know {t ain't so
an that I wouldn't think of dotn no
slch a way. Why, Pap, if 1 was to git
to goin round a-makin love to women
Whar I didn’t have no right I'd ‘low for
somebody to put a bullet hole through
me the very fust thing I knowed. I
ean tell you right now, an | mean jest
what I say, If ever any man made love
to my wife, an I knowed it, the minute
| laid eyes on that man I'd shoot bim
through the heart jest like I would a
dog. I would shore.”

A painful silence followed these
words, for no one offered to speak,
The men exchanged a significant
glance among themegelves, then looked
at Sim in serlous thoughtfulness, To
them his threat signified more, much
tuore, than he suspected, It Impressed
itself so indelibly on thelr minds that
they never forgot it, and on an after
occasion they recalled it with a sicken-
ing dread that made them shudder,

G. M. BROWN'S CAMPAIGN, H

Opposed by Mr, Conan Doyle, the Novel-
ist—Lots of speechmaking.

Mr. Conan Doyle's unsuccessful ef-
fort to attain political honors at
the last general election in Great
Britain is of particular interest to
Canadians by reason of the fact that
the successful beral candidate was
Mr. George M. Brown, son of. the
late Hon. George Brown of Torants
The constituency was Central Edin-
burgh, and Mr. Doyie Was tne Lace
al-Unionist candidate. He is deserib-
ed as highly pepular in Edinburgh,
where he took his course in medicine
and also obtained his first success in

literature. As a candidate the novel-
ist made sv many speeches that in
one of the last of thein he said: ‘‘I

have talked and talked all the week
till LT am sick of hearing my own
voice! T made ten speeches yester-
day and have to make as many more

to-day.’’ On some days he began
his speech-making before breakfast
and kept it up till midnight. He

spoke in the streets and squares, in
several breweries, in an opera house,
in a “‘literary institute,’’ in front of
business establishments or workshops

and wherever he could attract the
notice of any group of listeners. He
had to submit, too, to that torture

known as ‘‘heckling’’ — or, in other
words, was required to answer all
those searching questions — political,
moral or metaphysical — which elec-
tors are fond of putting to every
candidate. On a tumber of occa-
sions he had to confess that he could
not answer the ‘‘hecklers,”’ cok
really do not know,’’ he said in one
cuse. And: ‘'L favor your suggestion;
but don't see where the money is to
come from."’ “We ought to go very
slowly;"’ “IT agree with you; but
“IT am not a jingo; yet, af-
ter all;"’ “I am a young politician;’’
and so on. In ceferring to British
performances abroad he is reported
as saying:

“Why should we be so very aggres-
sive! We should not rush into every
foreign enterprise. We have been the
policeman of the world too long
There is not a dancing Dervish or a
mad Mullah, or any kind of religious
fanatical lunatic, but Great Britain
and Great Britain's army are sent
to put him down, We never get any

let his imagination loose. He never

Gen, Sir Gordon Drummond,

The first commission of General Sir
Gordon Drummond, a soldier whose
career is of interest to Canada for
the active part he took in the war
of 1812, is dated September 21st,
1789, His promotion from the
first, however, was very rapid. In
1794 he received his Lieutenant-Col-
oneley, Between this date and his
arrival in Canada as Licutenant-
General of the Canadian forces, in
August, 1818, he had served in Hol-
land under the Duke of York, in
Egypt under Abercrombie, and in
the West Indies under Sir Eyre
Coote Sir George Prevost was the
first in command in Canada, but the
Winter Campaign of 1813-14 was es-
pecially characterized by the opera-
tions carried out under Drummond.

«BY M. QUAD...

1 am one of the sergeants In charge
of the central police station at night,
and during the several years I have
held the position some strange things
have occurred, One of them, and one
that attracted general attention at the
time, was the way the murderer of the
Bolton family walked in on me one
night. A family of five people named
Bolton living in Missourl was slaugh-
tered one night, avd, though every
effort was made to find the murderer,
he got clean off. Two years later, one
night at 11 o’clock, a tramp entered
the station and queried of me:

“Tf I will surrender myself, will you
send out for a good luncheon? I have
had nothing to eat for two days.”

“What crime are you guilty of?” I
asked without much interest.

“Murder, I am the one who killed
the Boltons out west.”

“Yes, I'll lock you up and give you a
luncheon,” I said, and 1 took him down
stairs, placed him in a cell and then
ordered a lunch for him from a night-
hawk wagon. I hardly believed bim
guilty of any crime whatever, but his
face betrayed his hunger, and | felt |
charitably inclined, Before I went off
duty in the morning I told the fellow
that I showld have bim sent up as a
vagrant, and it was then that he told
me his story in such words that I could
no longer: doubt him. The result you
know. He was the murderer sure
enough, and he returned to Missour! to
be tried and hung for his brutal crime.

One night a year or so later as | was
eating my lunch at midnight an old
woman who ran a laundry entered In
an excited state and asked me if there
was such a street in the city as Desoto.
I told her there was, It was a narrow,
wretched street in the toughest quarter
of the town. Then she asked me if
there was a cheap hotel called the
Lincoln House on the street. Again 1
answered in the affirmative, It was a
resort of bad men and bad been raided
several times.

“Now, let me tell you,” she continued,
growing more excited as she talked,
“Soon after 1 went to bed tonight I
had a dream of being on Desoto street

He moaned in pain and tossed about,

Then two men came into the room and

large roll of bills, They went out for
o few minutes, and when they returned
they carried the body down stairs, out
through a back door, and they were

eler, Dr. Rebert Felkin, was staying
with the bloodthirsty King Mtesa of
Uganda many years ago, the king, out |
of gratitude for his visitor's medical
treatment, wished to cut off bis head,
On Dr. lelkin representing that the
trentment was vot finished and that if
Interrupted ft would cause Mtesa’s
death the latter granted him a re
prieve until he was quite recovered,
Then, bowever, nothing avalled, and
the execution was determined upon,
Emin Vas who was a friend of
Dr. Felkin, Lad justructed him most
necurately about the state of affairs In
Uganda and the court of King Mtesa
and had revealed to him an Important
state secret—namely, where Mtesa's
powder store was hidden, Dr. Felkin |
remembered this at the right moment |
and as a last resort threatened that If
Mtesa killed bin be would bring down
@ flash of lightning upon bis powder
store. Mtesa replied Incredulously,
Whereupon Dr,
Felkin whispered In his ear, “It Is con-

The Hippopotaman,

Next to the elephant the hugest benst
{n point of bulk and weight is the bip-
popotamus. Of this animal Sir Samuel
Baker bas seen bundreds of specimens
on the White Nile. One ¢hat be meas-
ured was 14 feet 3 Inches long from
enout to tip of tall. The crocodile ney-
er ventures to attack the hippopotamus,
which for its part disdains to attack the
crocodile, Although, like the rhinocer-
os, this monarch of mid-African rivers
is not carnivorous, It is very formidable
to man, being enally provoked and ag-
sailing the object of Its resentinent with
reckless fury. It can upset the largest
boat, and tn one instance perforated
with Its tusks the fron bottom of Sir
Samuel's steamer, causing a dangerous
leak. The flesh of the hippopotamus ts
always palatable, tnd when the animal
is young It Is delicious, The skin makes
excellent turtle soup. The tusks were
formerly more valuable than those of
the elepbant, being In request by den-
tists because they never turn yellow.

Despite Medical Treatment, He Be-

came Weaker and Weaker, Until
lie Could Scarcely Sign His Name
Mr. James Dauphine, of WDast
Bridgewater, or as he is better
known as ex-Councillor Dauphine,
has been a sick man for the past

three years, His health gradually
forsook him, until by degrees he was
forced Lo give up doing all kinds of
work. He consulted a physician and
took a large quantity of medicine,
but it did him no good and he grad-
ually grew weaker and weaker. His
duties as a magistrate necessitated
his doing much writing, and being
an excellent panman in his days of
good health, it came very hard to
hint when his hand shook s0 much
scarcely keep it steady
enough to sign his name. His daugh-
ter, seeing his deplorable condition,
advised him to try Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills, and after a bit of coax-
ing he was induced to try them.
‘There was no noticeable change in
his condition until he had started
taking the third box. From that
on the improvement was rapid. He
grew stronger every day, his appe-
tite increased, the weariness amd las-
situde departed from his limbs,
some of the lustre of his youth re-
turned to his eye, and by the time
five boxes were used, Mr. Dauphine
felt a new nan. The weight of years
and the burden of sickness have
rolled from his shoulders, his hands
are now steady and his pen can run
as rapidiy as ever. He attributes
his cure to the ministration of a
good wife and Dr. Williams’ Pink
Vilis. Mr. Dauphine is 73 years of
age, but feels as young and vigorous
as he did years ago, and is ever
ready to praise in the warmest
terms the health-giving qualities of
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills,

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are the
friend of the weak and ailing. They
surpass all other medicines in their

tonic, strengthening qualities, and
make weak and = despondent people
bright, active and healthy. These

pills are sold by all dealers in medi-
cine, or can be had by mail, post-
paid, at 50 cents per box, or six
boxes for $2.50, by addressing the

her own statement, had been a phys-
ical wreck, with nervousness, rheu-
matism in the left arm, pains in the
small of the back, up the spinal col-
umn and back of the head, through
the eyes, left side of the body and
occasionally the right side. She had
no appetite and could not sleep at
night. ‘he pRysicians had given
her up. and in this pitiful and hope-
less condition, Dodd's Kidney Pills
found her and completely restored
her to good health without an ache
or pain. Hler appetite returned as
her general srood health improved.
She used in all but twelve boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills.

This was in the spring of 1898,
and today Mrs. Barnett states posi-
tively and in the strongest amd most
grateful terms that the cure Dodd's
Kidney Pills brought her three and a
half years ago was absolute and per-
manent; that she is today stronger
and better than she had been for
years before taking the pills. Noth-
ing could be more convincing than
this good womaa's plain and truth-

ful statement, and it proves beyond
doubt

cures effected by Dodd's Kidney Pills,

In his Vogetable Pills, Dr, Parmeloe has wiven
to the world the fruits of long scientific re
search in the whole realm of medical science,
combined with new and valuable discoveries
never before known to man. For delicate and

is both a tenic anda stimulant, mildly exciting

GROWING BABES.
Need Watchful Care to Prevent Over-
fieding and the BPvils That
Follow

All childrea at some period of their
infancy are subject to indtrestion,
diarrhoea, or constipation, While the
symptoms of these troubles greatly
differ, the origin of each is due to the
same cause—improper food or over-

feeding. This results sometimes in
diarrhoea, sometimes in constipa-
tion, In either the treatment is to

remove the cause, and this can only
be speedily, safely and cffectually
done by the use of Baby's Own Tab-
lets, a purely vegetable medicine
guaranteed to contain no opiate nor
any of the poisonous stuffs found in
the so-called soothing medicines.
Mothers who once use Baby's Own
Tablets for their little ones never af-
ter experiment with other medicines,
and always speak of them in the
highest terms. Mrs. Geo. R. John
ston, Wall street, Brockville, says
“TL have been using Baby's Own Tab
lets for over a year, always keep
them in the house and always find
them satisfactory. If my little boy-
two years of age—is troubled with
constipation, indigestion or diar-
rhoea, | give him the tatdets and he
is svon relieved, The tablets regu-
late the Dowels and do not cause af-
ter constipation as many medicines
do. I have also found them benefic-
jal in teething,”

Baby's Own Tablets are a certain
cure for all the minor ailments of lit-
tle ones such as colic, sour stomach,
constipation, indigestion, diarrhoea,
etc, Children take them readily, and
crushed or dissolved in water they
can be given with good results to the
youngest infant. Sold by druggists
